Have you formatted the external drive. I don't believe any of them come preformatted.

Dear All
Please can anyone help with the following :-
Computer....Toshiba Satellite 1400-S151
Operating system....XP Professional

Having fitted a "Mass Storage Device" and connected it to a USB1 port, any hard drive I put into it, is with no problem and shows up in "Computer Management" as alive and well. The problem is that it does not show up in Windows Explorer as a "drive" which in my case should be "G:".....no drive letter is shown at all. Strangely it shows up in DOS tho' and even more strange is that it works OK and a drive letter shows up on any other machine I have tried it on!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated

H Windle
